Foods in Season

Use our handy guide to find out which foods are in season month by month.

Why eat foods in season?

Because seasonal food tends to be fresher, it tastes better and has more nutritional benefit.
By buying foods in season it also has a positive impact on the environment and local economy too.

It is easy to take for granted the vast array of foods available and to expect to be able to obtain them all year round. Imports from all over the globe keep the supermarket shelves consistently stocked with produce.

But why buy beans or asparagus that have been flown all the way from Peru or Kenya when UK varieties are best when in season?
This does mean that what is eaten and when will change as seasonal eating means that not everything can be had all the time.

That is is all part of the joy of foods in season, the anticipation of the finest asparagus, the freshest bean. the juiciest, sweetest strawberry or succulent scallop.
